November 3rd - Cara Bishop, 17 year-old singer-songwriter on The Set List with Kate Smith | |
|
Cara Bishop was a guest on The Set List Friday, November 3rd. Cara is a 17 year-old singer-songwriter from Hart County, Kentucky! Cara's debut single "Mine For Now" was released in 2022 to both radio and streaming platforms. The accompanying video was also featured on CMT.com. She wrote the song when she was only 14. Cara recently received a prestigious Josie Award for Artist of the Year (Under 18) in October of 2023.
Her vocal tone is so pure and we are blown away by the songs she's written thus far. We cannot wait to see where her talent takes her!
Look for Cara on social media and anywhere you can stream music.

November 17th - Kevin Thomas, singer-songwriter on The Set List with Kate Smith | |
|
Kevin Thomas made his debut in the Somerset 106 studio for The Set List on 11-17-23. Kevin, hailing from Monticello, KY has been creating music full time since last year, but wrote his first song at the young age of 16. He says his biggest personal influence to become a musician came from going to church with his grandmother and watching her play guitar. Kevin's grandma passed away when he was ten years old but she left him her guitar and he still uses it to play her favorite gospel song, "Beulah Land" at then end of most shows. His musical influences feature greats like Merle Haggard and Waylon Jennings.
Kevin sang us several original songs including "Wither Away," a relatable song about going through hard times that affect one's mental health. Kevin has a deep, warm voice and beautiful vocal tone. He plays a little bit of bluegrass, country, gospel, and rock n' roll. Kevin will be going into the studio to record soon. Look for him on social media and on TikTok and a venue near you.
Special guest co-hosts for the day were Jonathan New and Taylor Davis.
